rHE Mexican officers, Colonel Arvizu and Lieutenant Gutirez. who were sentenced to death by 8 court martial held at Guymas, for creating the trouble on American soil few months ago, have not as yet been executed. They have ap- poaled to the President of the Re public, who, with the Secretary of ths Military, comprise a Supreme Military Court, and 1t is probable that their sentence will be miiiga- ed to . term of Imprisonment which will satisfy even the most cxactiug American.

WHY EUROPE rs DISTURBED.

The political testament of Peter the Great
of Russia, the cause of continual commotlon
in Europe, and from which originate the
present rumblings, contained the following
remarkable paragraph =
eve must on all occasions NEEDLE with
the affairs and discords Of Europe, We must
extend ourselves towards the Baltic and
towards the Mediterranean We must
advance towards C~onstantinople and towards
India. We must separately and secretly
offer to share the universe monarchy. If one
Power accede to the proposal, we must make
use of one for destroying the other. Ii both
refuse, we must excite the one against the
other, and cause them to crush themselves
reciprocally. Thus can and will Europe be
subdued."
Gustavus III, in his political Balance Of
Europe" showed his comprehension of the
magnitude of the aims of the empire then
forming when he wrote
"a kingdom almost unknown in Europe
during the last century, gradually aggrandlz-
ed at the expense of all its neighbours, has
menaced for forty years the political balance
of Europe. From the Caspian Sea to the
Straits Of Gibraltar there is no country Of
which Russia has not disturbed the tranquil
ty or alarmed the precaution. Every year
has produced new designs, which arose evident
ly from enc general plan. The hand of power,
tired with the exertion of open violence; pre-
pared for them a war less dangerous-a war
of negotiations. Europe became a theatre of
divisions, of troubles, of discords, of which the
mechanism and wheelwork were fabricated at
st. Petersburg Star d Herald.
